Are There Upfront Fees For Selling Your Business - Business Brokers and M&A Firms

If you are small business with earnings under $300K then you would probably approach a “main street” business broker to sell your business.  It is industry standard practice for business brokers to not charge an upfront fee.  Actually, in most states it is even more than that – it’s the law.  In many states in which business brokerage is regulated under the department of real estate, brokers are not allowed to collect upfront fees that are a part of the sales commission.  If they do charge an upfront fee, it has to be for a tangible product or service such as a formal valuation (not a 5 or 10 page “broker’s opinion of value”).  

If your business need a M&A firm, read on for some excellent advice.
